Hi.
I wanted to know if anyone knows of a program somewhere out there that allows
you to put all of your laser fonts into a folder (within the System Folder,
perhaps), so that the System Folder doesn't get so cluttered with them. It
seems like such a program would be useful, and easy to make, since it would
probably only have to tell the LaserWriter driver and maybe ATM that the fonts
have moved.
Thanks.
Nick Triantos

Suitcase II will do this. I keep all my font files in a FONT folder in my System Folder. As long as I have Suitcase looking in that folder, ATM, as well as the system, looks in there. And yes, it keeps my System Folder *a lot* less cluttered. -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE

Postscript files can be put in any folder where at least one font/DA file is open. I own both Master Juggler and ATM, and I just put the bitmap suitcase file in the same folder as the PostScript outlines, make sure the font suitcase is opened vith Master Juggler and that's it! ATM and the LaserWriter driver find the needed outlines. I use LaserWriters at work but also have a DeskWriter at home, and it works beautifully also! I don't know if Suitcase does this or not, as I have never used it. -- { Marc Mazuhelli | professeur } { internet: mazu@dmi.USherb.CA | Departement de math-info. } { <this space intentionaly ... | Universite de Sherbrooke } { ... left blank> | Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada }

Although you cant get all the printer fonts in the same folder exclusive of
the System Folder, you can use Suitcase II to show the printer where it is.
1st you create a folder called "Fonts"
Then inside this folder you create your "sub folders"
Now if you have a font, take for example, Tekton, create a folder
named tekton in fonts, and put both your screen and printers fonts in it.
Know when you open the screen fonts with Suitcase, it tells ATM and the
printer where the printer fonts are

When you need the fonts for an application, use suitcase to access them, then run the app. Suitcase lets several users access them if you use its "shared" option. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Oberst Cikgu Din di rumah ku.
